The classic fairy tale is retold in brilliant color and exciting animation. Jack trades his cow for magic beans used to grow the beanstalk that stretches to the sky. The real action comes when Jack is caught by the evil giant in his castle at the top of the beanstalk. Jack encounters a few other enchanting friends along the way. Jack and the Beanstalk is a classic for many reasons: the story is wonderful and the lessons about greed and frugality are timeless. ~ Amy Lewis, Rovi
